Are you willing to be “The Apprentice” to land your next job?
One Month Free
Absolutely. I’ll give you one month free to prove I am the right person for the job, but you’ll know in less than two weeks. Would you do it?
The Real “Apprentice”
When “The Apprentice” hit prime time several years ago, my friends used to joke about how I should go on. Right now, that doesn’t seem like a bad idea. Move over Joan Rivers and Denis Rodman, Nina Leon is here to prove she should have the job.
Prove It Liar
In a flooded job market where over half of resumes (some numbers I’ve seen go as high as 75%) contain untruths and the sheer number of co-jobseekers is unfathomable, even when you know you are great, will a potential employer ever have the opportunity to see your spectacularity? Maybe it’s time to take the free sample approach.
The Irresistible Free Sample
One of the biggest lures in marketing is the free sample. How can you resist? There’s no need to. It’s free. The whole concept being that once you’ve had that free sample, you won’t have a clue how you’ve lived all these years without the product. As a regular at Trader Joe’s, my shopping cart has frequently been victim to the food free sample. It has been very rare that my husband has not purchased whatever food was the freebie of the day. You try it. You like it. You buy it. It’s time this be applied to jobs as well.
Prove Yourself… For Free
As anyone who has ever been in the hiring seat will tell you, some people just interview well. Once they start working, you realize they may not have been the best choice. If everyone had to work the first 2-4 weeks for free in order to prove themself, would we see the same situation? Would free workers quickly realize it was not them but the employer who had misrepresented themself and choose to leave on their own? Do you love your work enough to do it for free?
